Praise The Lord That He Has Built

Author: J. C. Aaberg Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord that He has built Here on earth a sanctuary, Where the soul, oppress'd by guilt, Safe beneath His wings may tarry, While His mercy love and grace All its guilty stains efface. 2 Built upon the rock it stands Firmly through the passing ages, Heeding not the world's demands, Nor the storm that round it rages, But to souls with cares replete It remains a blest retreat. 3 There the wounded hearts are heal'd, Grace to yearning souls imparted, Light to sightless eyes reveal'd, Strength renew'd in feeble-hearted, So that souls from weakness prone Grow like trees in Lebanon. 4 Send us, Lord, Thy Spirit's dove, Open wide Thy living fountain, Deck Thine altar with Thy love, Teach us from Thy holy mountain, Shield us all beneath Thy wing Till, at home, Thy praise we sing.

Why art thou cast down, my soul?

Author: B. Schmolck; H. A. Brorson Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why art thou cast down, my soul? O what mean thy sighs and sadness? Trust in Him who makes thee whole, And thy griefs can turn to gladness,-- Often in the darkest hour He reveals His love and power. 2 On this ground thy anchor cast; Safe thou art, in Christ confiding; All the griefs which here thou hast Are but shadows unabiding. Soon thy cross shall pass away, Joy shall come that lasts for aye. 3 Christ's own way is always good, Christians find this consolation: He who bought thee with His blood, Now stands pledged for thy salvation. Rest upon His sacred word-- That assurance doth afford! 4 Jesus gives us joy and tears, Blesséd be His name forever! When thy way most dark appears, Trust in Him, despond thou never; Weary soul, when sore distressed, Call on Him and be at rest. 5 Surely, narrow is the way To the land of gladness yonder; While on this sad earth we stay, We must here as pilgrims wander, Through the desert we must roam, Till we Canaan reach, our home. 6 Upward, then, my weary soul, Where the crown of life is given! Pressing onward to the goal, I shall win the bliss of heaven; For, O Jesus, I am Thine, Blest am I, for Thou art mine!

God of grace, whose word is sure

Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose word is sure, Thou who keepest truth forever, That my trust may rest secure On this ground that wavers never: Let Thy truth be dear to me, That my soul may faithful be. 2 True this word will e'er remain: He who Christ to own refuses, Though he all the world should gain, His immortal soul he loses; For the Saviour will not own Him before the Father's throne. 3 To the banner of the cross I fidelity have plighted; It will be my endless loss If this solemn vow were slighted; Therefore Jesus, none but He, Shall my constant watchword be. 4 Let me, till my latest breath, Christ confess with constant meekness; Let me faithful be till death, Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness: Let me live in Him, and die Heir of mansions in the sky.

Earthly treasures pass away; Jesus I will love for aye. 2 Riches, pomp, and earthly joy Cannot tempt my soul from heaven; Gold is mingled with alloy, Bitterness with sweetness given, Riches flee and hopes decay; Jesus' grace abides alway. 3 In my Jesus I am blest, He to pleasant pastures leads me, Stills my soul and gives it rest, And with heavenly manna feeds me. Earthly things must face and fall; Jesus is my Life, my All. 4 Then away, O world! thy joy Leads the soul to grief and sorrow; Death is found in sin's employ Fears to-day, regrets to-morrow. Jesus only satisfies; Jesus points me to the skies! Amen.
